Question about track marshals in World Superbikes?

[Yoong Montoya]

After seeing Schumacher going off in the F1 European GP and then getting back in the race with the help of the marshals which is actually legal, I was just wondering about this rule in World Superbikes? Troy Bayliss went off into the gravel twice in the Silverstone round last year, and both times the marshalls helped him back into the race. Was that legal as well?:confused:

Yes.

Quite interesting,I compete in two different classes (bike & Karts)at a club and national level and outside help is prohibited,if you recieve any its a automatic DQ.

I think the only exception is if you are competing in endurance events,I can't see why it should be any different at a world level.

In the UK if a rider comes off their bike providing they and the bike are undamaged they can restart. However, this doesn't apply at Club level or for Juniors e.g. MRO Superteenies.
